Patent CA-2546503-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCMURDO BRUCE
IPC: H04L/
Filed: 2004-11-30
Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for securely implementing port-based authentication on a shared media port in an intermediate node, such as a router. To that end, the invention provides enhanced port-based network access control that includes client-based control at the shared media port. Unlike previous implementations, the port does not permit multiple client nodes to access a trusted subnetwork as soon as a user at any one of those nodes is authenticated by the subnetwork. Instead, port-based authentication is performed for every client node that attempts to access the trusted subnetwork through the shared media port. As such, access to the trusted subnetwork is not compromised by unauthenticated client nodes that "piggy-back" over the shared media port after a user at another client node has been authenticated by the trusted subnetwork.

Title: Coplanar x-ray guided aiming arm for locking of intramedullary nails
Inventor: WAELCHLI ANDREAS
IPC: A61B17/17
Filed: 2005-09-23
Abstract: A novel coplanar X-ray guided method and device for insertion of distal locking screws in intramedullary bone nails. The device has coplanar holes, which allow insertion of protective sleeves. A drill and bone screws can be inserted through the protective sleeves. Radiopaque target markers in the aiming arm enable the easy positioning of an X-ray source such that an X-ray beam is coplanar with the aiming arm transverse holes. After the X-ray source is accurately oriented, a single X-ray snapshot is enough to assess the exact distortion of the implanted intramedullary nail. The X-ray beam need not be coaxial with the intramedullary nail holes. The aiming arm has a mobile portion and a fixed portion fastened to the nail, wherein said aiming arm can be adjusted, displacing the mobile portion over the fixed portion, to compensate for the distortion of the intramedullary nail after implantation.  Once the aiming arm is precisely positioned, the aiming arm transverse holes and intramedullary nail holes are accurately aligned, protective sleeves are inserted through aiming arm holes, bone drills are drilled through the intramedullary nail holes and surrounding bone material, and bone screws are inserted, locking the intramedullary nail to the bone.
